The role of nuclear activity as the power source of ultraluminous infrared galaxies

E. Nardini, G. Risaliti, Y. Watabe +2

We present the results of a 5-8 micron spectral analysis performed on the largest sample of local ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) selected so far, consisting of 164 object…

Exploring the active galactic nucleus and starburst content of local ultraluminous infrared galaxies through 5-8 micron spectroscopy

E. Nardini, G. Risaliti, M. Salvati +4

We present a 5-8 micron analysis of the Spitzer-IRS spectra of 71 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) with redshift z < 0.15, devoted to the study of the role of active galact…

Supermassive Black Hole Mass Regulated by Host Galaxy Morphology

Y. Watabe, N. Kawakatu, M. Imanishi +1

We investigated the relationship between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass and host starburst luminosity in Seyfert galaxies and Palomar-Green QSOs, focusing on the host galaxy m…

The AGN/starburst content in high redshift ULIRGs

Y. Watabe, G. Risaliti, M. Salvati +3

We apply a simple model, tested on local ULIRGs, to disentangle the active galactic nucleus (AGN) and starburst contributions in submillimiter and 24um-selected ULIRGs observed wit…

Nuclear/Circumnuclear Starbursts and Active Galactic Nuclei Mass Accretion in Seyfert Galaxies

Yasuyuki Watabe, Nozomu Kawakatu, Masatoshi Imanishi

We investigated the correlation between nuclear/circumnuclear starbursts around the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the AGN activities for 43 Seyfert galaxies in the CfA and 12 m…

Obscuration of Active Galactic Nuclei by Circumnuclear Starbursts

Yasuyuki Watabe, Masayuki Umemura

We examine the possibility of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) obscuration by dusty gas clouds that spurt out from circumnuclear starburst regions. For the purpose, the dynamical…
